Frittata Di Spaghetti Spaghetti Frittata Recipes

FRITTATA DI SPAGHETTI (SPAGHETTI OMELET)

Steps:

• Combine the pasta, eggs and cheese, stirring well. Season.
• Heat half of the butter in a large heavy bottomed frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes until the eggs are just set but still very soft. Slip a knife around the edge to loosen the omelet, then using a spatula turn the frittata cooked side up on to a plate (patch up the pieces if it breaks).
• Heat the rest of the butter in the pan, slide the frittata back into the pan, soft side down and cook for a few minutes. You can also cook the top side by just dotting with butter and grilling, but I prefer the pan method.
• Cut into wedges and serve.

FRITTATA DI SPAGHETTI (SPAGHETTI FRITTATA)

Steps:

• In a frying pan, saute the prosciutto or ham in the olive oil until crispy; Drain on brown paper or paper towels.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs; Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper, and basil or parsley; Add the spaghetti and mix well, then stir in the mozzarella cheese and proscuitto.
• In a 9-inch frying pan, heat 2T of the butter and 2T of the olive oil; Add the spaghetti mixture and smooth the top with a spatula; Cook over medium-low heat until the frittata is browned on the bottom and set.
• Invert a plate larger than the frying pan over the pan and turn out the frittata; Heat the remaining butter and olive oil in the pan, and return the frittata to the pan to brown the other side.
• Shake the pan occasionally to keep the frittata from sticking.
• Rather than turning the frittata, place the pan under the broiler for 5- 8 minutes.
• Invert a serving plate over the frying pan and carefully turn out the frittata; Serve at room temperature, cut in wedges.
• NOTE: This is even better the day after it is made.
